In terms of details shared on this page, there is nothing much to look at except the teaser of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and the glyph interface that will likely carry over to the second-gen smartphone.
Octopus tentacles are also added to the mix, the importance of which is something we will have to wait and see in rumours and on the launch date.

The Nothing Phone (1) is currently available at just Rs 699 in the Flipkart sale after Rs 29,300 discount.
Nothing Phone (1) with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage is currently listed at Rs 29,999 on Flipkart after Rs 8,000 off.
In addition to this, Flipkart is offering up to Rs 29,300 off in exchange for your old smartphone, this further brings down the price of Nothing Phone (1) down to Rs 699.

Nothing Phone (2) Design hinted by the company
The latest Nothing phone is expected to have a design similar to the Nothing Phone (1). This is something that the company has hinted in a recent interview and the rumour mill has also suggested previously.
When the company’s CEO Carl Pei was asked about Glyph Interface with LEDs at the back that we saw on the Phone (1), Pei asserted that the upcoming 5G phone will have more customization options and functionality.
This suggests that we will likely get to see the same design. The company has also hinted that the major focus this time is on improving and offering a better software experience to users.
He didn’t explicitly mention we will get the same LED design at the back of the Phone (2), but the mention of more customization options suggests that Nothing is planning to offer an older design.
There are chances that the new Nothing phone could come with some changes at the back panel to offer users a refreshing look.
The brand has previously confirmed that the new 5G phone features an aluminum side frame.
We will likely get more details on the design department soon as the launch event is nearing.

1) Nothing Phone (2): What to expect?
Ans) Pei has been teasing the Phone (2) for a while now, hinting that it will deliver a premium experience compared to the Phone (1). The Phone (2) upgrades to last year’s top-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip from Qualcomm from the Snapdragon 778G+, which powered the first one.
With the Phone (2) will arrive Nothing OS 2.0, which the company says will combine the best of Android to enhance accessibility and efficiency for users. During an interview, Pei disclosed that Nothing is making significant investments in software development, particularly emphasising the Phone 2 s software. According to reports, Nothing has expanded its software team and now includes several experienced individuals who previously worked at OnePlus, Pei’s former company.
Nothing has confirmed that the Phone (2) will feature a bigger display, about 0.15 inches bigger than the Phone (1). Then, the Phone (2) will also boast a bigger battery of 4700mAh, 200mAh more than what it was in the Phone (1). Also, it has a lower carbon footprint than the first-gen model.
The company has announced that the Phone (2) will be made in India. The Phone (2) will go on sale in India through Flipkart.
2) Nothing Phone (2) India Launch: What You Need to Know ?
Ans) Nothing Phone (2) India launch event will be hosted on July 11 at 8.30 PM. The company has confirmed the same while teasing the design. According to the teaser invite, the Phone (2) will get an updated Glyph Interface. The company seems to have worked on the LED lights design, which is now a bit more separated than what we have seen in the Phone (1). The noticeable differences are around the camera module and wireless charging lights.
These design changes seem to be in line with the leaked design renders of the Phone (2), which also revealed that the device will continue to feature a semi-transparent design. The upcoming Nothing smartphone is also supposedly a lot more curvier on the sides, according to the leaked renders. However, soon after the alleged design renders leaked, CEO Carl Pei took to Twitter and tweeted “fake”, suggesting that the leaked design renders are not completely accurate.
Meanwhile, what is confirmed is the Phone (2)’s display size. The device will sport a 6.7-inch display. It should feature an AMOLED panel and offer support for a 120Hz refresh rate. If the leaked design renders are true for the display bit at least, the device will feature a hole-punch cutout at the top left corner for the front camera. Also, the screen will remain flat on all sides.
Under the hood, the device will feature a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which will also help Nothing unlock many camera features due to the upgraded Spectra 570 image signal processor (ISP). This includes support for Raw HDR and 4K video recording at 60 fps.
In addition to this, the device is also confirmed to pack a 4700mAh battery. The upgrades might lead to a bump in the price. We can expect the device to launch in India for around Rs 40,000. Here’s a quick look at the Nothing Phone (2) specifications and features known so far:
Display: 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution.
Performance: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC
RAM/ storage: 8GB/ 12GB, 128GB/ 256GB.
Battery: 4700mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
Rear camera: 50MP main camera and 50MP ultra-wide camera.
Front camera: 32MP front camera.
Software: Android 13-based Nothing OS 1.5 out of the box. Nothing OS 2.0 confirmed to be in works.
Other specifications: Glyph Interface, in-display fingerprint scanner, dual speakers, etc.
3) Nothing Phone (2) to launch on July 11.Details?
Ans) London-headquartered consumer tech company Nothing will launch the much-awaited successor to its maiden smartphone, the Phone (2), on July 11. The company will unveil Phone (2) in London — the launch event can be streamed online from 8.30 pm on Nothing’s official website.
The Phone (2) is the successor to Phone (1), easily one of the best-looking smartphones I’ve ever used or reviewed. The Phone (1) had a clean, stock Android interface and came with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. At launch, it was priced around Rs 33,000.
The Phone (2) is expected to be a more premium offering — the smartphone is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and have a 4,700 mAh battery — slightly larger than the 4,500 mAh sported by its predecessor. This will also be the first time Nothing will sell a smartphone in the United States. The Phone (2) will run Nothing OS 2.0 out of the box.
Pricing and other details remain a mystery — for now. However, Nothing co-founder and CEO Carl Pei, in a recent interview with Forbes, said the price will be at a more acceptable level. ” …the latest technology comes at a cost which isn’t always justified from a user-benefit standpoint. Choosing Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 ensures that Phone (2) remains accessible while delivering a significantly improved experience compared to Phone (1),” Pei had said in the interview with Forbes.
The Nothing Phone (1) sported a dual camera array on the back — 50-megapixel primary and ultrawide shooters. It currently runs on the Android 13-based Nothing OS 1.5. But the standout features were the snazzy glyph interface and the retro-chic user interface, simultaneously making this phone feel futuristic and a callback to the good old feature phones of yore.
The Phone (2) will become the fifth product in Nothing’s portfolio — joining the Ear (1), Phone (1), Ear (stick), and Ear (2).
